I didn't like the second half either but there wasn't much left but cadaver parts and huge projects, usually someone with one stellar skill but awful in almost everything else. We don't have issues either like almost every team in our division. Tampa went offense entirely. Good luck with that. It took us years to build ours. They have a good D but so do we and it just got better.

After being a little down on the second half of the draft I actually like it. A lot. I am still questioning picking a Safety (positionally, not the guy himself) but outside of that I love what we have done. We are moving everything towards the way teams are winning right now. Defence. Oh and we have Drew Brees, those other defensive teams don't have a QB anywhere near as good.

My only concern would be the solitary O-Lineman we took in the draft. Sure we can address in UDFA, but look at the list of names that we have through UDFA so far. One single O-lineman and two bloody safeties amongst the names! Seriously? Can we please appease my concern and get a couple of extra big bodies

We improved overall...with Sproles & Moore leaving, we bring in an improved/younger Moore and a younger Sproles-type player all-in-one with Cooks. SJB should help the secondary right away, too.

The 2 LB'er and 1 Safety pick on Day 3? They will make their money on Special Teams. and I think all 3 will be pretty good right away given their talent and be starters a few years down the road. However, with Coordinator Curly "Nyuck Nyuck" McMahon running the Special Teams units, we've pretty much already wasted these 3 young men's talents before they even get fitted for a practice jersey. Sad.

I am trying to look out the box but knowing all the possibility we could've done is dissatisfying. I know the potential that these kids could bring us and I will remain a loyal fan and cheer for these players but it will be sickening to have another draft that only two remain on the team after 3 years (2011 draft class)

Just the fact that we finally give a Brees a guy who can be a true #1 type WR makes this draft a success. If the guy is as good as he looks on Youtube and if Stills is what we think he is this offense will be even better than the 2011 edition.

If Baptiste turns into a decent starting CB I'd rate this draft as a major win. Hated not having a 3rd though.

I am happy for people to get 1 or 2 players out of draft and think that is a success(mike Ditka). To build a franchise into dynasty you need to draft more than just 2 players.

We picked six.

My bad 6, finger cross that all 6 be around and contribute for the future

So I understand you.

The Saints became insane and 4 picks have absolutely no upside or chance of becoming something great?

nola_swammi

No I didn't say that. My concern is that they will be on IR til they rookie contract is over or worst they be cut. They do have potential but is the risk worth the reward from where they were selected in the draft?
